Yet Another Incident... Slight Bumper ID.

So I had an unfortunate accident. Driving on a major highway at 65mph in the far left lane I struck a blown out truck tire that I did not see until it was within a few feet as it was night. Either way, stomping the brakes and/ or swerving wouldn't have been ideal as I had a Mercedes on my left. Anyways, here's the aftermath:

I ripped the front lower center splitter off because it was deformed and bent so it rubbed the ground. I also have a custom made metal splash guard which is the black you see after I ripped the bumper center out.

I also have a picture of the part number sticker but I can't find it out of Google... I bought the car with the whole body kit installed already. I have no clue to what it exactly is. Previous own said Veilside, I highly disagree.

That does look like a "V-Speed" a rip off/knock off of the Vertex. Notice your grill in up a few inches where how the real vertex is centered correctly also all the big gaps where air is being thrown around everywhere. ED should be ashamed of putting real pics of the Vertex on their site trying to pass their kit as the real deal.

If you guys are wondering, yes. I pulled over on I-95 and got the son of a ***** that caused my damage. Has a trace of red paint on it. Because I grabbed this, I feel significantly better... simply because I did not see it until it was a few feet in front of me while I was going about 65mph. Reviewed my dashcam, saw it, seeked it, got it. I did not know how large it was until I pulled over and walked up to it.

I am in the process of getting the V-Speed bumper from ED. Fitment can be off by a bit, as my now trashed bumper was not perfect either. Until I have money for the real deal and don't mind a $1000 getting trashed, I'll stay with the cheap stuff.

As for the truck tire, I positively am sure the truck tire blew out from a flat. There's a spot where a nail had punctured through the tread completely.

Trust me, as I said, knowing all of this and seeing the object I strucked makes me feel significantly better.

The VIS kits seem to be below par. The fitment is terrible (at least on mine) and when I saw the horrific damage and split (albeit a high impact collision with that tire cap) in the pictures above that was more "evidence" it was a VIS knock off. Link below but ignore it's depiction of the slot since others have said they moved it around as molds wore out.

I definitely will I'm taking it to a guy who works at a body shop, his work is the most bestest of the best I ever seen. So if the bumper required any mods or savage beatings to make it fit, I'll let you know.

Duck05, the front bumper is a bit different from mine. The lower sides below the fogs. All the other panels
looks to be the same.

I hope ED kit are at least 80 - 90% Excellent.

When your bumper comes, if you decide not to keep the lower bumper grill, let me get it...
